Andrew shares a second helping of commissioned pieces from U.S. composers on “American Vernacular: new music for solo piano,” the latest recording from Midwest pianist Nicholas Phillips. (And another additional teaser, too, from Chicago composer Bernard Rands, who celebrated his 80th birthday last week.)

Andrew’s 2005 interview with Studs Terkel

Studs discusses his book AND THEY ALL SANG: Adventures of an Eclectic Disc Jockey.

"It is the only interview that I know of done with Studs where he discusses in detail his passion for opera and opera singers including Rosa Raisa, Lotte Lehmann, and "his" diva, Claudia Muzio. Studs also talks about his disc jockey days in general and the music editions of The Best of Studs Terkel on WFMT. We play opera scenes with Raisa, Lehmann, Muzio, and a song by Woody Guthrie as well." -Andrew
